Mr Scotty Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Hows everyone ??I'm currently looking for a fun cheap reliable car which I can track now and again but it's going to be my daily runner too, I've always liked the look of the little starlets so having a good look at some over the next few weeks, my last three choices came down too1. Starlet2. Integra type R 3. Civic type R any of you own one of these honda's ?? and could you tell me how they compare to the Starlet thanks for any help Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 The Civics and Integras are better handling cars than StarletsNot sure on performance though(if you want a decent handling revvy non turbo though, would also suggest looking at the Toyota Levin/Treuno ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Welcome along mateyIf it was my choice, I would go for one of the Hondas tbh. (Yes I know you probably didn't expect to hear that on a Starlet site but its my honest opinion!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletRick Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 for track id go for the teg. they have an AMAZING fwd chassis. they are lightyears ahead of starlets in the handling dept. the vtec is better suited to track aswell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Scotty Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 if you need boost in your life, youll be bored of the vtec. thats my problem, i needs the boost. NA just isnt fun.Thats what i'm worried about at the moment i've got a 370bhp Evo V and I used to have a 320bhp GTIR but the Evo's not my cuppa T and the missus is on about getting a place so the Evo has to go but i'm unsure of what to get next, it's got to be cheap fun and reliable,decisions decisions !!!!

There is a turbo Teggy up for sale up the road from me running 270bhp + 50 shot of nos ( which I'ld take out ) but im not sure how reliable it'll be ??also a mate has got a 290bhp starlet up for sale which is tempting me what do i do Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 get a test drive in both,wtih a turbo vtech your getting the best of both worlds for sure!but with an ep starlet you get cheep tax, cheep insurance, good mpg if you keep beloow 2800 rpmsi still cant find a car to replace mine after having a b16c,the only way id move is probably onto some sort of fast disiel like a scoda fabia rsi or 330d bmw Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 That 290bhp starlet...is it a white GT with black wheels Carbon bonnet etc?If so thats my favourite GT ever and would buy it if I could Quote Link to post Share on other sites
